‘Effortless’ by Greg McKeown ROBERT’S BUSINESS BOOK SPOTLIGHT
We are often told that working hard means having more success in life. However, working hard can be exhausting and could limit your energy to innovate or make the progress you hoped for.

Performing at My First Gymnastics Show JUMPIN’ JULIET
Hi everyone, It’s Juliet here! I am so excited to tell you all that I just turned 5 years old. I almost feel like a grown-up. My birthday party was terrific, and I loved being with my family. Recently, I did my first gymnastics show! My sister and I did it together, and we had so much fun. We had the best costumes and our hair looked so pretty! We went to gymnastics practice every Monday, and all our hard work paid off because we even won a super cool trophy! My older sister, Ella, and I always put on shows for our family. We love to jump, dance, and twirl around the house to fabulous music — I guess that’s why they call me Jumpin’ Juliet! My dad always tells me to remember these fun days because I will miss them one day. He wishes for me to always be this carefree and happy; he says I have the best smile!
Ella is fantastic, and I hope to be like her someday. She is the best at gymnastics, and I asked her to teach me all her amazing tricks and dance moves. Ella always tells me to dance like no one is watching. She says to always have as much fun as possible in and out of gymnastics. Laughing with Ella is one of my favorite things, and I am so happy to have a sister like her. Ella and I are now matching our gymnastics trophies, and I could not be more excited. I can’t wait to continue with gymnastics because I have learned so much and want to be the best I can be! Here’s to many more shows, trophies, and smiles ahead!
